What American Grain Crops Do.

1t is o curious illustration of the grow
ing community of/interest between the
peoples of the world and of the far
reaching influence that may follow an
acG done in one part of the earth that
the competition of Western grain and
provisions with English grain and pro-
visions in English markets has, in the
last twelve years, impaired tho value of
English farms 30 per cent. This is tho
estimate made by Lord Derby at the re-
cent annual dinner of tho Manchester,
Liverpool and North Lancashire Agri-
cultural Society. ''It is impossible" he
said, "to speak too strongly of the losses
which have been incurred in connection
| with land. l believe a depreciation of
30 per cent. would fairly represent the
change that has taken place." Thie is
the average foG tho whole country-a
loss of nearly onc-third i'll tho value OF
the farm property of England. In many
cases values have been so neayly dc
| stroyCd that farms are unsalabls aad un.
rcntable; no one will pay rent for the
| privilege Of raising crops on them which
must be sold at positive Ioes. Farm.
| ing Is reduced to an exact art in Eng.
land. 1t costo S. bushel to raise wheat
and If, after it is raised, it has to be put
on the nearest market side by side with
Minnesota or Missouri wheat, which is
sold for 81 q bushel, tho English farmol
has had his years work for nothing

the very agencies Of civilization-for the
peasant cultivators Of France and Itajy

southern Cotton IIills.

The manufacturers Rcco,W shows That Il
Tapld and marked development is going ON
III this great industry. In regard To- th,.
financial results, the Rcco3W SAYS: "Amonr

The proof Of the pudding is in c2rinm if
People may talk intcrlninably about manu-
featuring, but ii is only when cAprrjmcuj;

Tho Bee's Stina a Use full Tool.

a new champion has arisen to defend
tho honey bee from the obloquy under
which it has always rested. Mr.. VIM.
+. Clarke, of Canada, claims to have
discovered. from repeated observations,
that the most important function Of tho
bees sting is not singing. In II recent
article he says:
My observations and reflections hayo
convinced me that the most important
office of the bee sting is that which is
performed in doing the artistic cell
work, Gaping the comb, and infusing
the formic acid by means of which
honey receives its keeping qualities. As
| said at Detroit, tho sting is really
Skillfully contrived little trowel, with
which the bee finishes off and caps the
cells whom they arc filled brimful of
honey. This explains why honey OK
tractcd before it is capped ovor docs not
keep we'll. The formic acid has not
been injected into it. This is dono in
tho very act Of putting tho last touches
on tho cell work AS tho little plant
trowcl is worked to and fro with such
dextority, the darts, of which there arc
two, pierce the plastic cell surface and
leavo the nectar beneath its tiny drops
Of the fluid which makes it keep well.
This is tho "art prcscrvativo" OF honey.
| A most wonderful provision of nature,
truly! Horoin we SEQ that the sting and
the poison bag, with which SO many of
us would like to dispense, are essential
to tho storage of our coveted product
and that without them the beautiful
comb honey of commerce would be
thing unknown.
If these things are so, how mistaken
those people arc who suppose that bee
is, like tho Prince of Evil, always going
about prowling in search of victim.
The fact Is that the bee attends to its
own business very diligently, and has
no timo to waste in unnecessary quar-
rels. A bco is like farmer Working
with n fork in his hay field. He is fully
occupied, and very busy. If molcstcd
| or mcddlod with, he will be very apt to
defend himself with the implement lie
| is working with, This Is what the bee
docs; and man, by means Of his knowl-
edge Of the nature and habits of this
wondrous little insect, is enabled, in
most cases, to ward off or cvaGc attack
1t is proof of their natural quictncss,
industry, and peaccablcncss that so
many thousands ofthcm will go through
summer OF coascless activity close TO
your dwelling house. and perhaps nos
hall dozen stings be inflicted durino
whole season.

FIGHTING ON HoRsEBACK,
a Desperate Encounter In Which Two Outlaws
e.. 8. ... are FatElIy Hurt.

LINCOLN, Neb., October 25.--During
tho summer gang of hOrsCthievcs have
infested Howard and adjoining counties and
succeeded in running off several valuable
horses. Their methods of stealing were so
ably executed that the succeeded i'm eludipp
the officers for several months. They had
established stations, and would run their
horses from station to station during the
night until they were Saicly out of reach in
the Indian Territory and Texas Finally
the officers suspicious were fastened upon
Noon Stroll, a cowboy, who has made
himself notorious on the frontier by his
reckless and daring deeds, and Jim Taylo,
and Charles Smith, who do great deal OF
travelling about the country without any
visible occupation.
Last Sunday the banditti learned that tho
officers were on their trail and they slirpcd
out in n nOrth-wCStCrly direction through
the sandhillS and canyons of Northwestern
Nebraska with the officers and their posse
in close pursuit Late last night the officers
came upon the thieves, who had taken
shelter with settler, who lives in a dug
out. They were sleeping on their blankets
by their horses in stable. When sur
rounded they soon realized the situation
and determined to die rather than be taken
alive. They mounted their horses and
made terrific rush for liberty, amid a
Yollcy Of bullets from the posse
The thieves kept up Il steady fire at the
officers. Smiths horse was shot from under
him and he received several bullet wounds,
any one Of which would prove fatal. Strohl
at full speed, plunged his horse into Il raw
inc twenty feet deep and was almost in
stautly killed. Taylor's horse was shot
from under him and he gave himself up.
One of the officers received flesh wound
in the arm. There arc several others con
nected with this band of outlaws whom the
officers think they will apprchcnd soon.

Rcndy to huifO Each Other.

CohUMBUS, o., Oct. 25.-Thc icalouscs
which have existed between Governor
Foraker and Senator Sherman, growing
out OF the aspirations Of each to place on
the National Republican ticket, bid fair
now 10 break out in open hostility.
Nothing but policy on the part Of each
will prevent it. Each is conscious of the
others power to crush the hopes Of both,
If he so desires, and each knows how dcs-
pcratc the other is. The adoption of the
resolution endorsing Mr.. Sherman rs Ohio's
choice fer the Presidency, which was dorc
by the 'Rcpublican State Convention at
Toledo, and To which the Foraker men
gracefully submitted, instead Of ending a
quarrel between party leaders, was really
the entering wedge which threatens to
badly split the Republican forces in this
campaign.
The election Of Foraker and the loss to
the Republicans Of the State Legislature
would rid Mr.. Foraker of Mr.. Sherman rs
rival Tor place on the national ticket.
That is easy to see 1t would give the
young Governor special prominence and
deprive the Senator Of that lever he relies
SO much upon to raise himself into notice
Il Legislative resolution from his own
State. The State Committee is Foraker
committee decidedly. It's chairman is the
Governors appuintCc as Railroad Gommis-
sioncr, and its chief secretary his appointcc
as State Librarian. 1t is natural, there
fore, that this committee should manage
things in the interest Of Mr.. Foraker.
In his speech at Bclrontainc last week
Senator Sherman laid special emphasis on
the statement that the main object in this
campaign was the election of IA Republican
General Assembly. This ignoring Of Mi.
Foraker resulted in conclavc here of
leading Foraker and Sherman men, the re-
suit OF which seems to be that the State
Republican Committee is paying little
more attention to the General Assembly
elections and dCvoting its time less cxclu-
slVcly to the election OF Mr.. Foraker.
